Few are more synonymous with the Red Devils’ style and success than the World Cup winner, who has lived through triumph and tragedy, going from Busby Babe to board member during his 60-year association with the club.

Charlton’s impact saw Old Trafford’s South Stand renamed in his honour during a heartfelt pre-match tribute, a spine-tingling celebration that Martial ensured would not be followed by frustration as United ran out 1-0 winners against Everton.

It had looked set to be an anti-climactic afternoon after a 10th goalless first half in 15 Premier League matches at Old Trafford, only for Martial to lift the mood by scoring with United’s first shot on target.

Here, we take a look at how the individual players performed. Check out our ratings below…

1/22

MANCHESTER UNITED – David De Gea: 6 out of 10

Another clean sheet for him. Rarely called into action but was quick off his line in the first half to deny Lukaku a chance on goal.

2/22

Matteo Darmian: 6 out of 10

Created a number of chances for United in the first half with his deliveries into the box but sat back as the game went on.

3/22

Chris Smalling: 6 out of 10

Came out on top in his battle against Lukaku and looked comfortable under the pressure of the set-piece.

4/22

Daley Blind: 7 out of 10

Strong defensive performance both on the ground and in the air. Made a series of early important interceptions and challenges to deny Everton goal-scoring chances.

5/22

Marcos Rojo: 5 out of 10

Substituted at half time despite enjoying a lively first half in which he pushed on well to give United more options out wide.

6/22

Michael Carrick: 5 out of 10

Lasted up to the hour at which point he was replaced by Herrera. Struggling to find his form following his absence from the first team.

7/22

Juan Mata: 6 out of 10

A quiet first half but he warmed up as the game went on. Pulled the strings in United’s later attacks and created one of his side’s best chances on goal.

8/22

Jesse Lingard: 6 out of 10

One of few United players who created chances for his team. Got in the right positions and was dangerous in and around the box.

9/22

Morgan Schneiderlin: 6 out of 10

Ran United’s midfield well and sat comfortably just in front of the back four. Composed under pressure but the search for his first goal since October goes on.

2016 Manchester United FC

10/22

Antony Martial: 7 out of 10

The only player giving United any real movement throughout the entirety of the match. His hard-running paid off with a well taken goal in the second half.

11/22

Marcus Rashford: 6 out 10

Showed flairs of genuine creativity at times, which bodes well for the future, but failed to truly influence the course of the game.

12/22

EVERTON – Joel Robles: 5 out of 10

Wasn’t really tested for much of the match and was slightly too risky with some of his decision-making. Will have felt he could have done better with United’s goal.

2016 Manchester United FC

13/22

Seamus Coleman: 6 out of 10

Did well to get forward at times but left too much space in behind him when he did. Rocky start but settled into the game.

14/22

John Stones: 6 out of 10

A more cautious and considered performance. Less hesitant on the ball and made a well-timed challenge on Martial in the first half to deny United an early goal.

15/22

Phil Jagielka: 7 out 10

Led Everton from the back with a number of big tackles and strong defensive performance in the air. Also came closest to equalising with his headed attempt on goal that crashed off the bar.

16/22

Leighton Baines: 6 out of 10

Average at best though his set-pieces were on point for the vast majority of the match.

2016 Manchester United FC

17/22

James McCarthy: 6 out of 10

Tracked back well to lend defensive cover when the back four was caught out by United’s long balls over the top.

18/22

Ross Barkley: 5 out of 10

In too much of rush for most of the game. Forced passes that weren’t on and was repeatedly caught in possession. Careless.

2016 Getty Images

19/22

Tom Cleverley: 5 out of 10

Will have been disappointed with his performance. Looked out of his depth at times and, like Barkley, was guilty of giving away possession in dangerous positions.

20/22

Gerard Deulofeu: 5 out of 10

A lively start from him in which he proved a handful for Darmian particularly in the first 20 minutes. Ended up losing interest though and was subbed off at the hour mark.

2016 Manchester United FC

21/22

Romelu Lukaku: 6 out of 10

Too isolated to impact the course of the game. Failed to link up with his team-mates at times but did manage to hold up the ball brilliantly when he got it.

2016 Getty Images

22/22

Aaron Lennon: 4 out of 10

Went missing for most of the match. Ineffective and far too quiet. Might as well have not been there.
